Abstract

La présente divulgation concerne un dispositif médical (100) comportant des parties qui sont conçues pour être ajustées et retenues simultanément dans deux cavités sur des côtés opposés du corps d'un sujet, par exemple la trompe d'Eustache ou les trompes de Fallope. Le dispositif (100) peut comprendre un élément allongé (102) constitué d'un segment central (103) et de premier et second segments périphériques (104, 106) s'étendant à partir de celui-ci. Les segments diffèrent en termes de fonction prévue et positionnement éventuel in situ : les deux segments périphériques (104, 106) étant destinés à être insérés et positionnés dans les deux cavités pour exercer leur fonction à l'intérieur desdites cavités. Le segment central (103) sert de liaison entre deux segments périphériques et peut également être utilisé pour certaines autres fonctions par sa position. L'élément allongé peut avoir des propriétés élastiques.
